SANTA CLARA, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 01/21/15 -- CloudVelox, a leader in hybrid cloud DR and migration, today announced that Pilot Light DR has been validated as a powerful new Amazon Web Services (AWS) use case as the company plans for accelerated growth in 2015. Pilot Light DR involves the use of public cloud storage as a secondary data center. In the event of an outage, the stored environment in the cloud can be "ignited" into production on a pay-as-needed basis.

"2014 was a milestone year for both us and the Pilot Light DR operating model," said Rajeev Chawla, chief executive officer of CloudVelox. "In 2015, we plan to extend our leadership in automated cloud disaster recovery and migration and deliver huge cost savings to our customers."

In 2014:

Customers Established Pilot Light DR as a Powerful New Cloud Operating Model

• CloudVelox broke into the Fortune 600. A leading worldwide hotel and resorts destinations customer used AWS to cut DR and Dev/Test costs by more than 50% while increasing agility and giving the internal IT team more control of critical operations.
• CloudVelox deployments included the retirement of a colocation facility by a publicly traded ecommerce company as it established the AWS cloud as a secondary data center and a large pilot light DR installation for a leading semiconductor company.
• Customer the City of Asheville, NC won the AWS Grand Prize in the City in a Cloud contest for its Pilot Light DR deployment. The city also won Frost & Sullivan's CIO Impact Award for cloud DR.
